I think it'd be great though if your government spent more money on social services for example, to help those citizens who are at a disadvantage, and less money on war. You have so much potential as a nation, and it's a shame to see the values the average person holds to being thrown down the toilet by the current administration.
We spend more on helping other nations and the poor than any other nation. Far more.

Which has always been the myth that so many Americans believe. Top five nations that accounted for most all of US aid - Israel, Egypt, Phillippines, Turkey, and Greece. Most of that aid is in or attached to military aid. Americans now where near the top of generous aid providers per GNP.
